Zauzig said it happened around midnight on Monday. When the masked intruders used a device to shatter his sliding glass door. This triggered the alarm, and then he said he immediately called 911.
“We didn't know if they were still in the house. We were so freaked out we were screaming help from the balcony,” Zauzig said.
Zauzig detailed the LAPD’s response and their arrival within six minutes with two helicopters overhead. But by the time they arrived, according to Zauzig and the LAPD, the three masked men had already left.

Zauzig thanked his followers for all of their well wishes and kind messages. But in a post, he said he is feeling violated and sick to his stomach as he deals with the mental toll.

We reached out to LAPD so far no arrests have been made. The investigation is ongoing.
